Concerning Noah's arc, were there more than two of certain kinds of animals taken aboard?

Answer 1

I don't think so ...

Answer 2

The story of Noah's Ark. One verse says a male and female of each species (Genesis 6:19). Another verse says seven pairs of each species (Genesis 7:2).

There are hundreds of other examples of contradictory details throughout the Torah aka Five Books of Moses aka Pentateuch. Also, there are several instances when the same story is repeated. The reason is explained by the documentary hypothesis.

The documentary hypothesis says that at least five people wrote these books. Scholars refer to them as J-E-P-D-R. In a nutshell, J & E each worked for a different kingdom and the writings reflect social norms and political propaganda for said kingdoms. They wrote the majority of Genesis, Exodus, and Numbers. P wrote the laws of the book of Leviticus and made some minor adjustments elsewhere. D put all the writings together into one book and added the book of Deuteronomy. R edited what D did and added some post-Babylonian exile writings of his own. For an easy to read description of the documentary hypothesis, read Richard Friedman's "Who Wrote the Bible?".

Answer 3

surely different the animals have been probable very youthful animals,so they wouldnt soak up plenty area---and likely there have been dino's on the Ark. yet another element human beings dont comprehend is which you dont could take all styles of canines or cat or cow alongside,in basic terms certainly one of each and every species...all canines are the comparable canines species,no count if chihuahua or super dane. So in case you carry it right down to youthful small animals and decrease it to the person-friendly species that solves the area concern...additionally different animals hibernate and that could have come into the equation additionally. Many think of that formerly the flood all animals have been vegetarian. yet as for the flood of Noah's day being actuality...the geological checklist backs it up...thats why you have fossilized animal keeps to be buried in rock depoited by applying water around the international. Coal comes from huge forests and plant life coated by applying earth in the process the flood...the comparable with peat. did you already know they got here across a forged iron pot interior a bite of coal in a Pennsylvania coal mine. How did it get there,if the flood substitute right into a fairy tale?

Answer 4

Yes. 7 pairs of clean animals and 7 pairs of every kind of bird were taken on board. Genesis 7:2, 3

Answer 5

Yes. The passenger list of the ark was quite impressive. Besides Noah, his wife, his three sons, and their wives, living creatures “of every sort of flesh, two of each,” were to be taken aboard. “Male and female they will be. Of the flying creatures according to their kinds and of the domestic animals according to their kinds, of all moving animals of the ground according to their kinds, two of each will go in there to you to preserve them alive.” Of the clean beasts and fowls, SEVEN of each kind were to be taken. A great quantity and variety of food for all these creatures, to last for more than a year, also had to be stowed away.—Gen. 6:18-21; 7:2, 3.

Answer 6

Q: How is it possible for Noah to have collected all the animals of the earth, and make them fit on the Ark?


Answer:

Noah would not have had to fit all the 'species' of the present post-Flood Earth on the Ark, only male and female representatives of pre-Flood 'kinds.' A 'kind' is a much broader classification term than today's 'species' or 'breed.' In addition, Noah did not have to collect ANY of the animals at all !! In Genesis 6:20, God clearly tells Noah that two (male & female) of every 'kind' "shall come unto thee." From these original 'kinds' of land animals have descended all the present species of their anatomical type, not by means of gradual evolutionary mutations, but by genetic variations already pre-coded for in the DNA of their Creation-Week ancestor. I definitely would recommend 'NOAH'S ARK: A Feasibility Study' (1996) by John Woodmorappe, 298p. (available at the Creation Evidence Museum for $23 or at our website), a resource that I know you will find invaluable in your study of these issues.

Answer 7

Yes, the unclean by twos and the clean animals by sevens. Gen. 7:2 Makes you wonder why if it was a Jewish thing he would be told to take more of the clean animals when there was no such thing as a Jew then. Sounds like just plain old good health laws to me.

Answer 8

Seven were required in some cases for sacrifices. If you want to really study this, you should get a copy of "A Feasability Study on Noah's Ark" available through the Institute for Creation Research.

Answer 9

The bible says God instructed Noah to take on the Ark 7 of every kind of clean animal and two of every kind of unclean animal, also 7 of every kind of bird. I'm not sure where in the bible the "clean" and "unclean" animals are referenced.

Answer 10

Yes. Seven pairs of all clean animals and seven pairs of each bird species were taken aboard. I am assuming that was the same list of clean animals later given under the law.

Answer 11

Noah's "arc". That puts a whole knew spin on it.

The correct word is "ark". I'm not making fun of your spelling. It is a simple mistake. Just the idea of what Noah's Arc would mean is kinda funny.
